But
make no mistake, what differentiates
Jaider from other musicians, is his ten
string guitar, on which is a virtuoso.
There are not many who can evoke such
passion from an inanimate object in the
manner Jaider does in such tracks as
"Baiao
for you"
if you have Real Player you can listen
to this track and other pieces written

In
an interview with Jaider in Australia
in April 2002, he explained that his
early influences in music were from
"BRAZILS AFRICAN TRADITIONS, THE
BOSSA NOVA, JAZZ AND FOLK"

We
asked Jaider if he could assemble four
other artists to jam with either living
or dead, who would he choice Jaider
responded that he would "choose
Brazils top arranger and musician
Hermeto Pascoal, Drummer and
percussionist Airto Moreira, Guitarist
Toninho Horta, and Ela Fitzgerald who
is now asleep."
